Various helper scripts to automate node movement in CORE
- Python 2.7
- Installed and running CORE network emulator
- Nodes must be placed on grid using
core-gui - Session must be started prior to script usage
For core-mobility-studio additionally:
- python-tk
- idle
- appjar
core-record.py - record current node layout to a file (default: appending)
core-automator.py - replay a recorded position file, sleep between steps (default: 1s)
core-mobility-studio.py - simple tk GUI to record and playback position files
Empty lines are ignored.
# Mark a comment - only allowed at the beginning of a line
%delay <float_delay_seconds> time to wait between steps, can be overriden by -d flag on command line
-- STEP Marks the end of a movement block, sleep is triggered
<node_name> <int_x> <int_y> [command(s) to be executed on node] describes the position of a node and triggers command execution, if int_x or int_y are set to - no position update is done but commands still get executed.
Example movement log:
# initial node placement
%delay 0.5
robot1 50 50 hostname > myhost
drone1 100 50
drone2 200 150
drone3 350 150
drone4 400 250
center1 763 276
-- STEP
robot1 55 50
drone1 110 50
drone2 200 170
drone3 350 130
drone4 370 250
-- STEP
robot1 60 50
drone1 120 50
drone2 210 190
drone3 360 120
drone4 420 250
Note: Node center1 is only mentioned in the initial setup, no movement is applied later on as this node is meant to be static.
